The English as Skaters.

AS nation Lley are not great
skaters. Some good performers there
are; yet men who skate-taking the
term to mean something more than
merely foundering along in the mos.
ungraceful lattitudes--are comparatively
small in number. As the newspapers
tell us, crowds of people locked to the
nearest pond long before the ice bears.
To the masses the existence of an acre
or two OF Ice means the extension of
available play grounds. and upon the
principle of anything for a change,
great numbers resort to every frozen
puddle. And what do they do when
they get therep sliders are numerous;
more than half the skaters find it neces.
sary to brandish stick as means of
retaining their balance; a man doing

lery, while anything outside of this
raises the skater to the position OF an
expert. Yet skating in England has.
in point OF proficiency, made rapid
strides within the last fifty years; and a
few-but very few--of our best skaters
can hold their own with the represen-
tatives of any nation.

JUDGE BOND is HERE.
ARD SO he HAS BEEN FOB TIE TWO
DAYS PAST.
To-Day he will Rear the Argument In
-. the Coupon. .Crusher" and Con-
tempt Cases.

Judge Bond reached the city day be-
fore yesterday and will to-day hold
court specially to hear the "coupon-
crusher cases" He started away from
Baltimore intending to go to Lynch
burg, but received information on his
way thithor that his presence there
would he unnecessary whereupon he
came to Richmond and went into pri-
vate quarters, where he escaped the OBJ
seryations of the reporters and the at
tentions Of the lawyers until yesterday.
He has had a good rest in Richmond
and can mount the bench this morning
with that serenity Of mind and sweet
ness of disposition necessary to sustain
him in the oratorical bombardment
which he is destined to undergo.
THE CONTEMPT CASE.
The first case on the docket is the
motion of Attorney-General Ayers to
dissolve the injunction granted Cooper
e ar. against all the Commonvealths
attorneys, &C., of the State but arising
under that injunction is the important
contempt case Of Mr. Scott, of Eau
quier.
MIR. Scott is here present TO answer
the rule. He was during the war cap
tain Of the Black Horse cavalry. Now
he is the Commonwealth attorney for
Fauquier. Like all such officers he
was eDjoined by Judge Bond but
there was a State law demanding him
to do one thing; here was an cr-parte
order from Judge Bond requiring him
to DO another. As Attorney General
Ayers had done in the beginning of
this litigation. Mr.. Scott resolved to
do. He obeyed the act of Assembly
he disobeyed the Judge and brought
suits against some thirty. Then he
was summoned to show cause Why he
should not be punished for contempt.
HE WILL ANSWER.
Mr. Scott is ready to answer, but it
is by no means certain that his de-
fcnce-the only one he can or will
make--will be satisfactory 10 Judge
Bond.
Mr.. Scott beinga man resolute in his
convictions Of duty will maintain his
ground, and unless Judge Bond should
decline to distinguish linn it may end
in his going to jail.
Mr.. McCabe, Commonwealth attor-
ney Of Loudoun, is also summoned to
answer for contempt, but it is thought
that his case will 30 off on q technical
point.
THE FIRST MATTER
Ordinarily cases of contempt are
given precedence over other business,
lut in this instance there are some rca-
sons that may actuate the Court in hear
ing the general questions first. Fore
most Of oil comes the question Of juris-
diction, which both sides will ably
argue.
